Ambassador Cruise Line has been forced to cancel a second cruise due to a lifeboat issue onboard Ambience.

Ambience took shelter in St John's last week

The vessel remained docked in Tilbury on Monday (19 December) after its three-day Festive Market Getaway cruise on Sunday (18 December) was cancelled due to a fault with the ship’s onboard lifeboat station.

Ambience will arrive at a ship repair yard in Bremerhaven to undergo repair work after the line was unable to address the issues in port.

As a result, the vessel’s scheduled 15-night Christmas and New Year Canary Islands cruise, due to sail on Wednesday (21 December) with 1,400 guests, has been cancelled.
